depends if you think hacking the bison grammar is a beginner task.

Barring objection, I'll mark it as easy.

The statement:
revoke all on view internal.all_objects from public;
yields a syntax error. The docs show that the word "view" is not
acceptable in this statement which is fine but the surprising thing is
that:
? revoke all on table internal.all_objects from public;
works fine even though all_objects is a view and not a table.
Now that I know about it, this doesn't bother me but it was a surprise
and I wonder whether the the parser/planner/whatever should be a bit
smarter about allowing the word table to apply to non-tables, and
whether the word view ought to be allowed.
Yes, I can confirm this behavior on CVS HEAD, and it is odd:
test=> CREATE SCHEMA internal;
CREATE SCHEMA
test=> CREATE VIEW internal.all_objects AS SELECT 1;
CREATE VIEW
test=> REVOKE ALL ON VIEW internal.all_objects FROM PUBLIC;
ERROR: syntax ERROR AT OR near "internal"
LINE 1: REVOKE ALL ON VIEW internal.all_objects FROM PUBLIC;
^
test=> REVOKE ALL ON TABLE internal.all_objects FROM PUBLIC;
REVOKE
Is there a downside to adding "VIEW" in parser/gram.y:privilege_target?
